Sweet Pepper Open Faced Sandwiches
2 to 4 sweet peppers
4 slices good quality
bread
Mozzarella or provolone or cheese of choice slices
Olive oil
2 or more garlic
cloves, chopped
Onions chopped, optional
Lettuce and tomato
Sauté up some garlic and onions if you use
them in olive oil. Add sliced sweet peppers. Lower heat, cover
and sauté until nice and sweated.
Meanwhile, slice bread and either put under broiler to toast
or just toast in a hot oven. When toasted, add a bit of cheese
and heat until melted. Slice tomato and wash lettuce.
To put it all together, put lots of peppers on top of the
cheese and then lettuce and tomatoes. Eat.
This is a bit messy but really good.
NOTE: If you want you can roast some of the peppers
in the oven and then sauté them with the garlic.
Joanna's Green Beans
From More Recipes from a Kitchen Garden
by Renee Shepherd and Fran Raboff
1 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 medium onion, very finely chopped
2 red peppers,
julienned
3 Tbsp. chicken broth or bouillon
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 LB green beans, trimmed
Salt to taste
In a large skillet, melt butter, add 2 Tbsp. of the oil and
heat gently. Add onion and red pepper and sauté slowly
over medium low heat until peppers are tender-crisp and onion
is translucent and tender. Remove half of this mixture and
reserve. Add last tablespoon of the oil to the pepper and
onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Continue to sauté
over low heat for 4 to 5 more minutes until onions are very
soft and beginning to caramelize. Add the chicken broth and
lemon juice, put mixture into food processor or blender, and
process until creamy. Steam green beans until tender and drain.
Combine the beans, the reserved sautéed pepper and
onion and the onion/pepper puree. Salt to taste. Heat and
serve.

all if we'd let them. You all get priority! Come check them
out and see what a really fresh egg looks and tastes like.
